- 8) Your mass is 68.8 kg, and the sled s mass is 11.3 kg. You start at rest, and then you jump off the sled, after which the empty sled is traveling at a speed of 3.10 m/s. What will be your speed on the ice after jumping off? Question 8 options: 0.36 m/s 0.71 m/s 0.61 m/s 0.51 m/s 9) Your mass is 87.6 kg, and the sled s mass is 14.4 kg. The sled is moving by itself on the ice at 3.16 m/s. You parachute vertically down onto the sled, and land gently. What is the sled s velocity with you now on it?

It runs into another clay model, which is initially motionless and has a mass of 0.310 kg. Both being soft clay, they naturally stick together. What is their final velocity (in m/s)? (Enter the magnitude.)arrow_forwardA 3.45 kg black ball traveling 4 m/s has a head on collision with a white one at rest. Using the velocities shown, calculate the mass of the white ball, Ignore friction and air resistance. 0 m/s 4 m/s 1.4 m/s 5.7 m/sarrow_forward
- A rocket-powered sled sits on a frozen lake bed. The sled has a mass of 210 kg, and the combusting rocket fuel has a mass of 8 kg. In a simplified analysis, we assume that as a result of combustion, the rocket fuel is fired backward at a speed of 160 m/s. What final speed does the sled achieve?arrow_forwardA mouse who weighs 40g is riding on a 0.25kg frictionless, motorless toy car. The car is coasting at 0.3m/s when the mouse decides to jump off. The mouse wants to jump off so that the car ends up not moving relative to the ground. Draw three momentum bar charts, one for the mouse, one for the car and one for the combined system showing how this could work. What is the speed of the mouse right after he jumps? State any equations that you use.arrow_forwardAn ice skater with a mass of 48.0 kg is gliding across a smooth lake with a speed of 2.85 m/s when she hits a spot of ice covered with snow. After a time of 7.75 s she has slowed to a stop. Using your knowledge of momentum, determine the magnitude of the average force of friction acting on the ice skater while she slows to a stop.arrow_forward
- Dan is gliding on his skateboard at 2.56 m/sm/s . He suddenly jumps backward off the skateboard, kicking the skateboard forward at 6.22 m/sm/s (as measured by an observer on the ground). Dan's mass is 42.1 kgkg and the skateboard's mass is 5.99 kgkg . If the jump requires 0.122 ss to complete, what average force did Dan exert on the skateboard?arrow_forwardSquids are the fastest marine invertebrates, using a powerful set of muscles to take in and then eject water in a form of jet propulsion that can propel them to speeds of over 11.5 m/s. What speed (in m/s) would a stationary 1.40 kg squid achieve by ejecting 0.115 kg of water (not included in the squid's mass) at 3.75 m/s? Neglect other forces, including the drag force on the squid.arrow_forwardQ.20. As given in the figure, the surface is friction less. The two objects collide, stick together and move together after the collision. Find the magnitude of final velocity in m/s?
